I'm trying to carve out an eagles head into a circle about 3" in diameter. I review the rough and there is a flat spot on the top middle of the cut. I add the preview of the finish cut and the flat spot is still there in preview...??
I have set the model position in material to 0.1232 but the flat spot still shows up in the preview. I tried a cut and the flat spot is definitely there...???
It says the .crv file is too big to send as an attachment.

Re: 3D PROBLEM
Try adding a zero plane if you don't have one. After you moved the models position in the material did you recalculate the toolpaths?

Re: 3D PROBLEM
If you are still getting a flat spot that means your model is not sufficiently below surface of material board being carved. Lower the model a bit more until flat spot disappears.

Re: 3D PROBLEM
Review this tutorial video Vectric provides:

This explains the use of the Multiply combining mode in order to address this very problem of placing objects in a dish and avoiding flat spots.
